Members of Falkirk Burns Club met for their annual celebration to toast the Bard last week.

Their Burns Supper took place in the Grange Manor Hotel in Grangemouth on Friday and was chaired by club president David Barclay.

As well as welcoming guests, which included many past presidents, Mr Barclay had the task of proposing a Toast to the King, a first in living memory for the club members.

The Immortal Memory was given by renowned local historian Ian Scott, while David Crozier Addressed the Haggis.

Entertainment was provided by Ian Crozier, John Merrilees and Grant Williamson who all gave recitations, while there were musical items from Colin Thomson and the piper for the evening was Tommy Couper.

Mr Barclay said: “We had a great evening which I believe the whole company enjoyed judging by the positive feedback.”
